2001: A Space Odyssey Review: Mankind’s Self awakening is the theme of “2001: A Space Odyssey”, a process that unfolds along a space-time continuum. We “see” our primordial past, and we “infer” a cosmic future. The powers of intuition thus become the doors of perception, in our ongoing collective journey. From this transcendental perspective, a conventional, egocentric plot seems superfluous. Our frenzied conflicts and self-important dialogue are consumed in evolutionary change, and are irrelevant in a cosmos that is vast beyond comprehension. It’s a tough lesson for a vain and aggressive species. Not surprising then that some of us huff and puff about 2001: A Space Odyssey is slowness and minimal story. For perceptive viewers, the remuneration is an inspirational sense of wonder and awe.

In 2001: A Space Odyssey, which is mostly visual, geometric symbols guide our intuition. Circles and arcs represent nature. Right angles represent conscious intelligence. Some people think the sleek, black monolith is a Von Neumann probe. Maybe. Without doubt, the monolith is a visual metaphor for an extraterrestrial intelligence whose physical form is never shown. Mystery is more profound than explanation.

“2001: A Space Odyssey” is unique among films in content and scope. The cinematography is out-of-this-world, the special and visual effects are breathtaking, and the classical music is sublime. I rarely use the word “masterpiece” to describe a movie. But Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” is art in the highest sense, like Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa”, or Vincent Van Gogh’s “The Starry Night”.
